###### tags: `package-jam` `2021`

The League of Extraordinary Foundry VTT Developers is celebrating one year since Foundry Virtual Tabletop was released (May 22) and the League's own first anniversary (July 13) by hosting a Package Jam between those dates!

Our [first package jam](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/comments/jdn24a/package_jam_september_2020_winners/) was wildly successful, and it introduced packages you know and love like:
- [Vehicles and Mechanisms](https://www.foundryvtt-hub.com/package/vehicles-and-mechanisms/)
- [Material Plane](https://www.foundryvtt-hub.com/package/materialplane/)
- [Ethck's Downtime Tracking](https://www.foundryvtt-hub.com/package/downtime-ethck/)

- [:sparkles: Emojimancy :mage:](https://www.foundryvtt-hub.com/package/emojimancy/)

And many more... Now that we've grown and Foundry has grown, naturally that means even more awesome will come around this time right?

> The League of Extraordinary Foundry Developers Discord just reached a 100+ members.

Our community has grown to over 2,000 strong in the eight months since then. We've witnessed a plethora of amazing ideas by motivated people from all over the globe come to market in that time.
